Peter King writes, "All week, even though Pagano was supposed to be in his second week of an arduous chemotherapy regimen to attempt to blast the leukemia out of his bloodstream, his mind was with his team. Every day he'd watch the practice tape sent to his iPad, sending out suggestions to individual coaches. On Friday, Arians spent two hours with him in room C23."

Michael Silver writes of Reggie Wayne, "What Wayne did Sunday against the Packers was truly astounding. ... The victory served as a tribute to leukemia-stricken head coach Chuck Pagano, who later placed a call to his star wideout and longtime friend from a nearby hospital room. To those who've followed Wayne's Indy career, from his dissatisfaction with his contract in recent seasons to his virtual disappearance into irrelevance during the Colts' hellish and abrupt 2011 belly-flop, the fact that he's still wearing a horseshoe on his helmet might be even more stunning."

Pro Football Talk
Mike Florio writes that delivering the game ball to Pagano in the hospital was "a fitting ending to a memorable day in Indianapolis. Digging out of a 21-3 hole against a team that went 15-1 in 2011, the Colts pulled out a 30-27 win, moving Indy to 2-2 and giving them the kind of boost that could carry them much farther in 2012 than anyone ever imagined."

Don Banks writes that interim head coach Bruce Arians "kept his team focused, even after it dug itself a huge first-half hole against a quality opponent. Arians has promised to keep the light on in Pagano's office as a sign of continuity in the organization, but in truth, having the Colts ready to make such a emphatic on-field statement against Green Bay was the best tribute he and his players could have made to honor Pagano."

Fort Wayne News-Sentinel
Reggie Hayes writes, "I'd love to know coach Chuck Pagano the way his players do.
It must be something special to be friends with a guy who inspires the kind of performance the Colts delivered. ... On his last catch, the play of the year so far with 35 seconds left, (Reggie Wayne) was sandwiched between defenders, held out the ball over the goal line and scored. Sheer will. Sheer inspired play."

Yahoo Sports
Andy Behrens writes, "We can all agree that one of the most difficult throws for an NFL quarterback to make is a third-and-long pass into coverage, while Clay Matthews is hanging onto your shoulders like a cape. Andrew Luck somehow completed such a throw. ... The play gained 18 yards on third-and-12, with Indy trailing 27-22 inside the final two minutes. Four snaps later, Luck would reconnect Reggie Wayne for the game-winner. ... Luck was brilliant in Week 5, piling up huge numbers against a defense loaded with playmakers."

Chris Burke writes, "Maybe Robert Griffin III's highlight-reel start has overshadowed how well Luck has played thus far in his rookie season. Sunday ought to clear that up."

National Football Post
Matt Bowen writes: "Think about this: the Colts were without head coach Chuck Pagano and down 21-3 to Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. Did anyone see this team coming back to get this one?" On Reggie Wayne's go-ahead touchdown with 35 seconds left, "Packers CB Tramon Williams played properly from a technique perspective. However, look at the effort from Wayne to get this ball across the goal line."

Kevin Seifert writes, "It was the Packers' largest blown halftime lead since November 1957, according to ESPN Stats & Information."

Paul Kuharsky writes, "When Andrew Luck ran in a draw for a touchdown, he ran to the "ChuckStrong" banner along the wall behind the end zone and banged on the orange ribbon as a salute. Robert Mathis held up a white board for fans late in the game with "ChuckStrong" written on it."

Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
Bob McGinn writes, "If the Colts were rabid about winning one for coach Chuck Pagano, who was diagnosed with leukemia Monday, it wasn't noticeable in their tepid first half. But once Rodgers was intercepted by Jerraud Powers on the third play of the third quarter, the Colts stormed the castle."

Colts Authority
Greg Cowan writes, "Yes, the coach is laying in a hospital bed fighting for his life, but one has to imagine that (Sunday), despite the sadness and pain he must be feeling, a pretty large smile crept across his face at 4:43pm ET, as Mason Crosby's field goal sailed wide left. This is his team, and today was the first major step taken on their journey to being competitive."

Football Outsiders
In an email discussion, Vince Verhei writes, "All credit in the world to Luck, but let's also credit a Colts defense that limited the Packers to one touchdown, two missed field goals, an interception, and four punts in the second half." Andy Benoit writes, "Are we watching a legend unfold with Andrew Luck here?"

FoxSports.com
Alex Marvez writes, "Ironically, there seemed a strong chance in March that Wayne wouldn't be playing for Pagano in 2012. Wayne was an unrestricted free agent and the Colts were in rebuilding mode. Indianapolis, though, made a surprisingly high three-year, $17.5 million contract offer to keep Wayne in the fold to accelerate Luck's NFL development. Wayne has proven worth every penny with 36 receptions for 506 yards in the Colts' first four games."

Pro Football Weekly
Lots of anonymous quotes from "NFL scouts, coaches and front-office personnel, speaking on the condition of anonymity," including this: "I think age is starting to catch up with the Packers. Donald Driver has been on his way down for years. (C) Jeff Saturday is done. The left tackle (Marshall Newhouse) can't play dead in a Western. B.J. Raji is not close to Vince Wilfork. (S) Charles Woodson can't run anymore - have you studied him? He'll still flash, but for every play he makes, he gives up three. He's very limited in coverage."
